Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

If you look closely, you'll notice that both of them have flushed faces and prominent veins all over their bodies.

The originally small amount of internal energy inexplicably swelled up a lot.

Even if you took these two to the world of martial arts, they would be considered third-rate masters.

Moreover, under the influence of the talisman, a current of energy swirled beneath their calves as they rose and fell.

One minute later.

Despite wearing gas masks, the faces of these people had already begun to turn blue.

This is the result of toxin accumulation.

There was no other way; there was just too much thick smoke inside the tunnel.

Even improved gas masks cannot filter out 100% of the toxins.

Moreover, two minutes have passed since the explosion.

As for air respirators and oxygen cylinders.

It's not that some people don't want to bring it out, but simply that they don't dare to.

In Sam and Alex's premonition, something in their space bag caused the four members of the Middle-earth team a lot of trouble.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The tunnel, which Moss had described as only thirteen miles long, suddenly seemed infinitely distant.

Chen Zilong's expression turned strange as he looked at the two babies in his arms.

He slammed a stick down on the car in front of him, sending it flying, and cursed in frustration:
"Damn it, is that female driver in the car crazy?"

"If you're going to run a red light, then so be it. Why are you closing your eyes and praying for God's forgiveness?"

"Hold!"

"I'm truly impressed."

Chen Zilong now wished he could turn around and smash that lunatic to death with a stick.

After all, they had finally escaped danger.

I had barely sat in the car and hadn't even rested for ten minutes when I was once again targeted by death.

And they still suffered a major setback.

However, he still possessed rationality and knew that the lives of the characters in the story were of utmost importance.

If you were to ask why not just fly out...

It's not that they don't want to fly out, it's that they can't.

According to Moss, at this very moment.

The upper part of the tunnel is covered with high-voltage cables that connect the power grid to the entire New York suburbs.

They don't believe Death will pass up this opportunity.

This entire tunnel is probably a location carefully chosen by the old man, Death.

"It's too late. There are still three kilometers to the tunnel exit. At your current speed, you can't escape."

"It is estimated that they will fall into a coma due to poisoning in another one to one and a half minutes, and the time will be even shorter for infants."

Moss's voice prompted everyone.

Upon hearing this conclusion, Chen Zilong couldn't help but curse loudly.

Actually, there's another reason why it's in such a sorry state: there's a mountain pressing down on top of this tunnel.

An entire mountain.

If it weren't for this, Chen Zilong would have already used his Ironclad Soldiers to poke a hole.

He led the group and broke through the top of the head to escape.

How could they possibly be forced to this point?

The second reason is the upper-level power grid that I just mentioned.

These two factors combined, along with the continuous chain of car explosions behind them.

This has led to the current situation.

In fact, Chen Zilong had suggested at the beginning of the explosion that an absolutely safe area be formed by enclosing it with alloy steel plates.

After all, a car explosion wouldn't be enough to threaten an alloy steel plate that's a meter thick.

However, after Alex told Sam that there might be a problem with the vehicles in the tunnel.

This plan was immediately abandoned by everyone.

Because Moss immediately identified, through the entrance and exit cameras, that there was more than one dangerous goods transport vehicle entering.

After a string of incomprehensible chemical symbols passed by.

This set off a new round of desperate adventures for everyone.

Chen Zilong, who was leading the way, took a deep breath after looking at the desperate situation around him.

next moment.

The true energy within his body dispersed into his limbs and bones, and the energy in his dantian began to evaporate and be consumed rapidly.

The clanging and banging sounds started again.

However, compared to before, this time the commotion was unusually large.

Chen Zilong whispered to those behind him:

"Zhu Wen possesses you! Hold your breath, and leave the rest to me!"

"Remember, trust me, don't move!"

As soon as Chen Zilong finished speaking, dark golden hands sprouted from the Willful Iron Staff in his hand.

After firmly grasping everyone behind him.

Feeling light all over, Zhu Wen jumped upwards, and in an instant, the two became one.

Possession is complete.

The ever-growing dark golden hand grabbed the last person.

Chen Zilong stomped heavily on the ground.

The first and second stage gene locks are unlocked at the same time as the leap.

His pupils contracted, and he fell into a state of confusion.

A pair of dark golden wings appeared on its back.

A visible blue lightning bolt flashed across the wings that were shrouded in thick black mist.

At this moment, Chen Zilong instantly calmed down from his previous anger and frustration.

She even closed her eyes.

At the same time, Chen Zilong's muscles first expanded and then contracted inward again.

Clear muscle lines appeared on Chen Zilong's body.

In Zhu Wen's perception, Chen Zilong seemed to be completely twisted into a single force.

The thick smoke, which is invisible to ordinary people, can be barely seen by them.

Especially Zero and Moss.

But at this moment, Chen Zilong completely gave up struggling.

Instead, he led everyone into the air and headed straight for the upper part of the tunnel, which was flashing with dense electric light.

He looked like he was courting death.

Sam and Alex, who also knew about the high-voltage cables in the tunnel, were initially flushed, but now their faces were as white as could be.

However, the two of them had no choice but to trust Chen Zilong.

Despite their belief, their innate fear still made them close their eyes.

Because after being captured by the Sui Xin Ironclad Soldiers.

The electric light, radiating a deathly smile, was only a centimeter or two away from them.

Even at this distance, slivers of induced current reached them.

It's just that I didn't actually touch it, only had a slight tingling sensation.

Then, she opened her eyes wide.

Undeterred by death, William and Iris then witnessed a miraculous scene.

Within the thick, dark gray fog, lightning crackled and shone like unpredictable laser beams.

But for Chen Zilong, these are countless existences.

They managed to dodge them all by the narrowest of margins.

And this is happening while the speed is constantly increasing!
If it were just him, that would be one thing.

But this one, still carrying so many burdens, danced amidst the thick smoke and intertwined lightning.

It's simply unbelievable.

"The exit is just ahead, get ready!"

Saito shouted loudly upon seeing the light.

But the next moment, Zhu Wen's voice rang out:
"No! Chen Zilong, ahead!"

As it flew out of the tunnel.

Chen Zilong tried to lift himself up to lead everyone away from this crisis. But just as he pierced through the black mist...

A huge, dark shadow swayed and blocked the way.

It was a news helicopter bearing the logo of a television station.

Perhaps it was flying too low or too close, or perhaps the pilot's vision was obscured by the thick smoke.

They had coincidentally blocked the tunnel exit at that moment.

In an instant.

The word "terrible" welled up in Chen Zilong's mind.

The biggest drawback of the Mind's Eye compared to mental detection and mental scanning is its narrow scope and extreme consumption of mental energy.

Chen Zilong had just risked taking off and led everyone to avoid countless dangers, and was already mentally and physically exhausted.

So this moment.

After feeling the helicopter coming towards you.

Zhu Wen, in her mental world, immediately wanted to unleash her skill.

Because this is currently the only solution.

But at that moment, Zhu Wen discovered that her vision had changed again.

The approaching helicopter defied the rules of motion and began to fall from a standstill.

The drivers inside were completely bewildered and could only blindly pull on the control levers to avoid crashing.

Zhu Wen focused her attention and then realized.

Compared to just now.

A human-sized handprint was found on the side of the helicopter.

Just as they were getting close, Chen Zilong struck out with a palm.

Even Zhu Wen didn't react in time.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Wen felt her vision distort and be enveloped in blood.

That was a cloud of blood mist that Chen Zilong spat out at the same time.

They then narrowly escaped by clinging to the plane.

As Chen Zilong soared into the sky, he swallowed the blood welling up in his throat and quickly said:
"Moss, I can hold on for another minute. Quickly find a relatively safe place and project the coordinates in front of me!"

Only after hearing Chen Zilong's words did Zhu Wen belatedly realize what had happened.

Compared to himself and Saito Hajime entering Final Destination to unlock their genetic locks.

Chen Zilong was the first to complete this task.

Moreover, it is the third stage of gene locking.

The first stage of the gene lock is the second horror movie Chen Zilong enters, coincidentally, it's also the Final Destination world.

The second stage of gene locking takes much longer.

From the middle of the Pacific Ocean to the top of the snow-capped mountains, they fought against the Yeti.

Up until the previous Alien 4, facing the extreme danger of an explosion, in order to save Zhu Wen.

This truly unlocked the second stage of the gene lock.

The third stage is now.

At this point, Chen Zilong became a member of the Zhongzhou team.

He is the fifth person to unlock the third stage of the gene lock, following Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, Li Xiao, and Zhao Yingkong.
-
In Blue Forest Park, New York.

The group landed in a sorry state.

A dark gold long stick was stuck straight into the stone bricks, penetrating more than half a meter deep.

At this moment, they no longer cared about the astonished looks of the others present.

As soon as Chen Zilong landed, he sat cross-legged and began to circulate the chaotic true energy within his body.

Then he reached into his spatial bag, took out a golden needle, and decisively pierced it three inches above his dantian.

They took out bags of brown liquid that smelled strongly of medicine and swallowed them raw.

We dared not waste a single second.

Saito frantically began performing CPR and artificial respiration on the unconscious individuals.

At this moment, apart from Alex and Sam who had internal energy protecting them, the other characters in the story had all fallen unconscious.

After landing at midnight, he took out the Vajra Talisman while keeping watch on his surroundings.

Even the Green Goblin skateboard was hanging on one side, with steel cables at the tail connecting to each person's waist, ready to take off and run away at any time.

There's no other way; after so many days, if it weren't for this...

They had long since become part of Death's ranks.

"Antidote, right, I remember there was an antidote and a cardiac stimulant in the first aid kit."

After Saito finished speaking, he directed Sam and Alex to take out the injection.

Alex was taken aback and quickly asked, "Wait, Saito-ichi, why is an antidote being injected when someone is unconscious?"

"Dense smoke is poisonous gas. Only a small number of people are burned to death in fires; most die from inhaling the smoke."

Alex nodded in agreement. Fortunately, the potions in the equipment were all auto-injection type.

Even if neither of them had studied nursing, they knew to stick the needle directly into the fleshy part of the wound.

The external wound was disinfected roughly, and then hemostatic agents were sprayed on it.

After completing all the operations, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two, now relaxed, both looked at the two babies in the swaddling clothes.

"Take good care of Claire and the others; leave the children to me!"

Before they could speak, Zhu Wen's voice rang out.

A flash of light.

Zhu Wen then transferred from Chen Zilong's body to the weakest baby.

Amazingly, Zhu Wen possessed him.

The baby's breath returned to normal at a visible speed, and even its complexion quickly regained its rosy hue.

A dozen seconds later, she burst into tears.

Zhu Wen then switched to the boy next to her.

Seeing this incredible recovery speed, Saito could only think of one thing: "That's really reliable."

Sixteen days ago, when Saito Hajime first saw this scene, he was amazed.

But now we've gotten used to it.

It could be said that without Zhu Wen's special presence...

These two newborn babies have probably already gone back to the underworld.

This capability was proposed by Sam and his partner at the time.

Because in another future, this advantage was only discovered in the latter half of the story.

At the maternity hospital, when the baby had just been born.

It took them a while to realize what was happening when they first saw it.

Zhu Wen's additional abilities are not noticeable in the Zhongzhou team because they are already strong.

For ordinary people, and even more vulnerable infants.

That's simply an amazing skill.

Putting everything else aside, the additional recovery ability alone is enough for these babies to recover to a healthy body in a very short time.

Three minutes later.

Chen Zilong opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and took out the golden needles and put them away.

Saito was taken aback when he saw this: "Huh?"

"Why aren't you having convulsions?"

"Isn't it said that unlocking the next stage of genetic lock for the first time always has side effects?"

Chen Zilong said speechlessly:

"Don't you even think about what physical qualities and bloodlines Zheng Zha and Li Xiao had when they were untied?"

"I exchanged for the Great Celestial Immortal Technique a long time ago, and then strengthened my body several times."

"If this still has side effects, then I might as well quit this job and just let Death kill me."

As he spoke, Chen Zilong got up and began to move around to get used to his new body.

Yes, it's a new body.

At this moment, Chen Zilong truly felt how correct the statement "to bring oneself into possession of oneself" was.

Despite the contradiction, this is exactly how Chen Zilong feels right now.

Compared to Death, he discovered something far more interesting and fun at this moment.

That is, at the very moment the third stage of the gene lock is activated. (End of Chapter)
